easterns are nasty ones to get bit by, alot of neurotoxin in the venom......however that snake bite kit likely did lil and he actually received a minor bite that didnt inject much venom....think about it, put one of those on your arm after getting a shot at the docs office and its not gonna pull much of anything out....all a rattlesnake fang is, is a hypodermic needle....at most you will get a couple drops out and thats not gonna affect the outcome one bit.....
rattler,
you're not entirely correct. My dad has the same kit and has had it for years. they come with a razor so you can open the wound to get better suction. Take a look at the picture of his leg, notice one of the bite marks is slit open.
